VNGA 160404 LX10 — ISO turning insert, 35° (Tungaloy)

The VNGA160404 LX10 is an ISO‑standard rhomboid insert intended for external and internal turning, designed to mate with standard holders by form, clearance angle and mounting dimensions.

• ISO rhomboid insert for turning
• Tungaloy LX10 grade for wear resistance
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine profiles
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Consistent process stability through ISO conformity and robust material

The rhomboid turning insert is manufactured to ISO standard dimensions and tolerances, enabling predictable fitment with established toolholders and reducing setup time. Made of precision carbide and specified for turning, the geometry and grade support steady metal removal rates and repeatable part quality. Compatibility determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, mounting and thickness simplifies tool inventory and speeds changeovers in mixed‑production environments.

Balanced cutting performance from the LX10 grade

The Tungaloy LX10 grade is formulated to balance wear resistance with edge toughness, extending effective tool life in a wide range of steels and common materials. This grade complements the insert geometry by enhancing edge stability under intermittent cuts and variable feed conditions. The result is fewer insert changes, more productive spindle time and a lower cost per component when compared with less optimised grades.

Geometry tailored for precision profiling and secure clamping

The rhomboid form with a 0.4 mm corner radius and 0° clearance angle permits accurate profiling and finishing passes where small radii are required. The insert’s 4.76 mm thickness and 16 mm size provide rigidity for stable cutting, while the cylindrical hole enables reliable clamping and repeatable positioning in compatible clamping systems. The 35° wedge angle influences cutting forces and chip flow, making the insert suitable for both finishing and light to medium roughing with the right holder and machining parameters.

System approach for quick integration and optimal results

The insert functions as part of a system — the complete set comprises the ISO plate, a matching outer holder or boring bar, a backing shim/clamping set and replacement screws. Selecting the appropriate chipbreaker and grade for the workpiece material and machining stability is essential; the LX10 grade pairs well with conventional steels and general turning tasks. Specifying the correct tolerance class and mounting arrangement avoids runout and ensures the full benefits of the geometry and material are realised.
